Lichen Planus is an inflammatory skin condition that causes itchy, flat-topped, purplish bumps on the skin or lacy white patches inside the mouth. It is not contagious and usually occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin or mucous membranes. Though the exact cause is unknown, it can be triggered by stress, medications, or certain infections. It often resolves on its own but may recur in some people. Diagnosis of Lichen Planus: Physical exam – visual inspection of skin, nails, and mouth lesions Medical history – review of recent medications and health conditions Skin or oral biopsy – confirms diagnosis under a microscope Blood tests – to check for hepatitis C or autoimmune conditions Patch testing – to rule out allergic reactions (in some cases) Dr. Manoj Kocheta offers an Ayurvedic treatment for skin disease management by providing personalized treatment and diet plan for Lichen Planus.
